But it has not been easy, ... It has been three yards and a cloud of dust, to use a football analogy, as opposed to a 40-yard touchdown pass.

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.
Probably Marvin Harrison. I played against him twice a year when (the Colts) were in our division, and the guy doesn't say a word. He just goes out there and gets the job done each and every year. He's not looking for the attention some of the other receivers are looking for. That's how you garner respect around the league by being a humble person and not trying to humiliate guys. There's competition out there, and guys are working their tails off. So when you score a touchdown give the ball back to the ref. On top of that he's a great player.
Doing these parts is not fun. It's challenging, but no fun. It's creepy. I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field.
We wanted to grind it out. I wanted to throw the ball more, but when you are ahead by three touchdowns you don't want to do that too much. What I was really impressed with was to give our seniors a break on defense, we had a couple of sophomores come in and the beat went on. One (touchdown) squirted out the back door but as far as I am concerned we pitched a shutout. It was pretty good.
He certainly hasn't lost anything in his arm strength and his ability. He had his career-best season as far as touchdown passes were concerned last year (in Miami). I've got a great working relationship with him, and he does a great job of working hand in hand with the starter. And that's what was important to me in this position.
Late in the third quarter the Cougars were behind 12-0. Duva had completed 5 out of 20 passes. Edwards looked at Gifford Nielsen. Giff had never done a thing, in practice or anywhere else, to give us confidence in him... .... the coach said later. He sent him into the game anyway. First play was a 19-yard completion. Second was a 6-yard run. He threw again on the third play to running back Dave Lowry who ran 37 yards for a touchdown.
There's no thrill like throwing a touchdown pass.
He's a good athlete with game-changing ability, ... Sometimes we use him as a decoy. He also plays both ways all the time and has one interception for a 100-yard touchdown (in a 48-20 victory over Briggs on Sept. 2).
We're struggling a lot. This is probably the lowest we've ever been as a staff. Our guys practice hard. We just can't make a play. We can't score a touchdown for some reason. We're just inept down there. I think we realize we have work ahead of us.
I thought the turning point of the game was after we went ahead in the third quarter, they came back and scored a touchdown on us in two plays.
My daddy died when I was two years old. My mother raised my two older brothers and me. And we couldn't have had a better situation. I mean, she was the - ran the concession stand at the Little League, and she was the first woman president of The Touchdown Club, the booster club for the high school football team. And so, I had a wonderful childhood.
Quarterback Chris Leak is back at practice after missing most of the past week with a sprained right shoulder. Leak played Saturday against Mississippi State, but his timing and accuracy were off. He has completed 48.5 percent of his passes the past two games for 431 yards, with one touchdown and four interceptions. He's been sacked six times. It's just fine, ... The main thing is being out there and playing with those guys. I never want to let those guys down.
He is very powerful, ... You can't really tackle him with one guy. You see him break tackles all the time, like he did on the last touchdown. Obviously his ability to catch the football is special.
It wasn't him. It was us. We did it. We weren't afraid of Randy. We hurt our damn selves. On that second touchdown, we called an all-out blitz and people didn't blitz. I'm putting it out there. Letting them know. Telling it just like it is. I'm not pulling any punches. We can't make those mistakes. That can't happen. It can't happen.
We were able to kind of methodically take it down the field and answer their first touchdown. It got us back in the game and we were able to roll after that.
